“Good Lord.”
By James White
We often hear well-meaning people, when speaking of the High and Holy One, use the expression, “good Lord,” and “thank the good Lord.” The adjective “good,” when speaking of common things, as a good cow, that good horse, and that good man, seems very proper, and falls on the ear agreeably. But we would suggest that where it is connected with the great and terrible God, it sounds exceedingly disagreeable.
It is true that the Psalmist says, “Good is the Lord;” but the sentence is made dignified by the addition, “and greatly to be praised.” The usual manner of scriptural expression is, God, the great God, the Most High, the Almighty. Let us remember that holy and reverend is His name, and be careful not to break the commandment by taking that exalted name in vain.
JAMES WHITE.
Appointments.
And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of Heaven is at hand.
ARRANGEMENTS have been made for the brethren living at Clyde, Green Spring, Jackson, and West Townsend, Ohio, to hold Monthly Meetings. The first one will be held at the house of Bro. Sharpe in Clyde, O., the third Sabbath in March. All the brethren and sisters in and about these places are especially invited to attend. These will not be business meetings; but they are for all the dear ones who love the truth, to renew their spiritual strength. Let all make a special effort to attend.
I. D. VAN HORN.
The next Monthly Meeting of the Marion, Lisbon, and Anamosa, churches will be held at Anamosa, Iowa, March 16, and 17, 1867.
WM. V. FIELD.
We would say to our brethren at Orange and Windsor, that Grand River has risen so as to stop all travel with teams at present. But should the water go down, and there come sleighing, or it continue good waggoning, we will meet them as follows:
Orange, March 6, at 10½ A. M.
West Windsor, March 9, and 10.
Battle Creek, " 16.
Newton, " 23.
Convis, " 30, and 31.
If it should not be good traveling at the time above mentioned, we shall probably remain in this region until the going settles, where we are kindly cared for, and return to Battle Creek when our friends here go to General Conference.

Ye Cannot Serve God and Mammon.
By Dudley Marvin Canright
“Did your friend buy the farm that he was looking at?” “No.” “Why not?” “Because he wants to get a farm and keep all his money!” This was a very short but forcible answer. It contained much truth. In buying, men often wish to get a good piece of property and yet keep most of their money. Generally they find it very hard to do this; yet by extortion they do often get things for less than they are worth. Some men are trying to gain Heaven in the same way in which this man wished to get a farm; i. e. have all the good of this world and have a home in Heaven too. But Christ says that this can never be done. “Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” You cannot have this world and the other too. D. M. CANRIGHT.
The Sabbath a Yoke of Bondage.
By Dudley Marvin Canright
Some opposers say that the seventh-day Sabbath is a yoke of bondage. This I have come to believe to be strictly true from observing how it works. But to whom is it a yoke of bondage? Not to the one who keeps it, for to him it is to be a delight, Isa. lviii, 13, and a blessing, Isa. lvi, 2. But to the man who is partially or wholly convinced of its obligation and is trying to get around it,—to him it is a yoke of bondage. It galls him, frets him, and he becomes impatient and often angry under it. Hundreds of illustrations of this may be found in all parts of the land. Hence, it is no wonder that such persons think it a yoke of bondage. It is hard to fight against God.
D. M. CANRIGHT.
The Cause in Lapeer, Mich.
By M. E. CORNELL
THE interest here holds out well. Some ten or twelve have embraced the truth during the meetings, and many are still considering the matter. We have given a straight testimony as our ability would allow on the Sabbath, Health Reform, Spiritual Gifts &c. and still we have a full house and good attention paid for two hours at a time. I have given twenty-five lectures, and have given out appointments for another week.
The brethren and sisters here, are much encouraged and rejoiced to see their neighbors and friends manifest so much interest in present truth. We trust these are the beginning of better days for the church in Lapeer.
M. E. CORNELL.
AN INVITATION RENEWED.
By Editor
Quite a number have availed themselves of the offer we made a few weeks since, of specimen numbers of the Review free. And the way is still open. The paper can in this way be got before a great number of people, at as moderate an expense as in any other way. So send in the names of all those for whom you feel an interest; and do not feel sensitive if your list is quite lengthy. We would like to use up all our odd numbers in this way.
Our Publication Page.
By Editor
The matter contained in the Publication Department has been made up in the form of an eight page tract, and a quantity printed for free distribution. Brethren would do well to obtain a supply to hand to their friends. We send a package to each of our preachers, so far as we can learn their present whereabouts, for them to circulate among the people wherever their labors may call them, outside of the church.
New Department
By Editor
NEW DEPARTMENT. We open this week a new department in the paper—the Historical Department. We have some very interesting sketches of history, throwing light on the prophecies, which we wish to lay before the readers of the Review. But as the paper is too small to carry on the Historical and Commentary departments together, we have concluded to alternate these two departments, giving gems of an expository nature one week, and historical sketches the next. If the Review contained 16 pages, we could do better; but we will do the best we can with the facilities we have.
The reader will be interested in what appears under this department in this number from the pen of Bro. Goodrick. In a very pleasing style he throws his reasoning around the false statements of Mosheim, like the huge folds of an anaconda, drawing them closer and closer, ’till the Doctor’s “traditionary” history for Sunday-keeping is at last crushed to death in their inexorable embrace.
THE ENLARGEMENT.
By Editor
Some of our correspondents speak this week quite earnestly in favor of a still further enlargement of the Review. We would say that four more pages could be added at proportionately less expense than the four which have been added. 1. The press work would cost no more. Our press is just large enough to take on eight pages, so that now we print one form of eight pages, and one of four. It would be no more work, and take no more time, to print two of eight. 2. In the matter of folding it would be an advantage, as the paper would be upon a whole sheet, and all cutting would be avoided. Paper and type-setting would be the only additional expenses. That it will be necessary eventually to enlarge to 16 pages, there can scarcely be any question. Shall we do it soon? Time is short. What is done must be done quickly. All the signs of the times indicate that we should make immediate preparation for a great work. And if there is duty in the matter, if the time has come to manifest more faith by another move in the way of enlargement, God will bless and sustain his people in it. We ask the brethren to take this matter into consideration, that whatever step is taken, it may be done deliberately and judiciously, as thus far, by the grace of God, we, as a people, have been enabled to move. The trustees would be glad to learn the minds of the brethren, that some decisive step may be taken by the time of the next Association meeting.
